Hi All -

Nice to find you, here. I'm the proud owner of a 1984 Ric 360, it was made around April of '84 and has the X bracing, thicker top and slimline Grover tuners.

Can you all help me identify the color? It was advertised as Autumnglo but I think it might be Walnut? It essentially looks like a fireglo finish but in a dark brown tone and a gloss finish.

Thanks!

Gloss is walnut, and autumnglo is matte IIRC. Welcome and cool guitar! That's a great era for 360's.

Nice maple on that, particularly by the ramp.

Are those Grovers stock?

Yes, she has some fine maple on the top and back for sure!

Yes, Grovers are stock, the guitar is all original and in really fine shape.

Ah, OK - so guessing this is Walnut, then - thanks!

I'd like to see the backs of the tuning keys. Grover had various styles of bodies so it would be cool to see which ones these are.

I'll take some pics this evening and post them here...

Here is my Walnut from 81

I haven't posted a pic in ages....I had to rememeber how I used to do it lol.

Looks great!

Interesting, mine isn't a reddish-brown, it's really more like a root beer brown, a bit tawny in the tone.

Here's a pic of the back of those grovers...

Cool. I used to have an '81 360 BG with star Grovers.
